Jayden Daniels Battles Severe Injury, Looming Surgery To Join The Commanders In London

Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels has traveled to London and returned to practice ahead of the Week 4 game against the Indianapolis Colts. Daniels is managing a dislocated left elbow sustained in Week 2 against the Dallas Cowboys, which marks his second dislocation of that joint in 10 months. He is wearing a specialized protective brace on his non-throwing arm to stabilize the weakened ligaments for the rest of the 2026 season.

Daniels remains questionable for Sunday's matchup as head coach Dan Quinn stated the team will not rush his return, with Marcus Mariota in line to start if Daniels sits. Furthermore, reports indicate Daniels will likely require offseason surgery to repair the damaged ligaments in his elbow after opting to delay the procedure to avoid missing the current campaign.
